6. Asymptotic automorphism groups of Cayley digraphs and graphs of abelian groups of prime-power orderEdward Dobson, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: We show that almost every Cayley graph ▫$\Gamma$▫ of an abelian group ▫$G$▫ of odd prime-power order has automorphism group as small as possible. Additionally, we show that almost every Cayley (di)graph ▫$\Gamma$▫ of an abelian group ▫$G$▫ of odd prime-power order that does not have automorphism group as small as possible is a normal Cayley (di)graph of ▫$G$▫ (that is, ▫$G_L \triangleleft {\rm Aut}(\Gamma))$▫.

8. On overgroups of regular abelian p-groupsEdward Dobson, 2009, original scientific article Abstract: Let ▫$G$▫ be a transitive group of odd prime-power degree whose Sylow ▫$p$▫-subgroup ▫$P$▫ is abelian od rank ▫$t$▫. Weshow that if ▫$p > 2^{t-1}$▫, then ▫$G$▫ has a normal subgroup that is a direct product of ▫$t$▫ permutation groups of smaller degree that are either cyclic or doubly-transitive simple groups. As a consequence, we determine the full automorphism group of a Cayley diagraph of an abelian group with rank two such that the Sylow ▫$p$▫-subgroup of the full automorphism group is abelian.

9. Minimal normal subgroups of transitive permutation groups of square-free degreeAleksander Malnič, Edward Dobson, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: It is shown that a minimal normal subgroup of a transitive permutation group of square-free degree in its induced action is simple and quasiprimitive, with three exceptions related to ▫$A_5$▫, ▫$A_7$▫, and PSL(2,29). Moreover, it is shown that a minimal normal subgroup of a 2-closed permutation group of square-free degree in its induced action is simple. As an almost immediate consequence, it follows that a 2-closed transitive permutation group of square-free degree contains a semiregular element of prime order, thus giving a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture that all 2-closed transitive permutation groups contain such an element (see [D. Marušic, On vertex symmetric digraphs,Discrete Math. 36 (1981) 69-81; P.J. Cameron (Ed.), Problems from the fifteenth British combinatorial conference, Discrete Math. 167/168 (1997) 605-615]).

10. Semiregular automorphisms of vertex-transitive graphs of certain valenciesAleksander Malnič, Edward Dobson, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: It is shown that a vertex-transitive graph of valency ▫$p+1$▫, ▫$p$▫ a prime, admitting a transitive action of a ▫$\{2,p\}$▫-group, has a non-identity semiregular automorphism. As a consequence, it is proved that a quartic vertex-transitive graph has a non-identity semiregular automorphism, thus giving a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture that all vertex-transitive graphs have such an automorphism and, more generally, that all 2-closed transitive permutation groups contain such an element (see [D. Marušic, On vertex symmetric digraphs, Discrete Math. 36 (1981) 69-81; P.J. Cameron (Ed.), Problems from the Fifteenth British Combinatorial Conference, Discrete Math. 167/168 (1997) 605-615]).
